​ Final day of preparation I have made 50 small wooden crosses from white ash my grandfather cut on his Kingston farm back in the 1960’s. He an I hauled the logs to Lorne Waddell’s mill at Reid’s Point returning that afternoon with a tractor trailer of planks and boards. I was 13 and proudly driving the 1950’s Massey Ferguson Pony tractor Thanks to my dad he saved the unused lumber and I craft the crosses from this vintage stock. I have some 45 of these crosses to those I chatted with on the 2017 Camino I walked  Will be off on Friday to Toronto then Paris and on to Biarritz Finishing the day at Saint Jean pied de Port France. Pray for favourable weather and comfortable feet
